The Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has denied offering N3million for the capture of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu. The Governor's Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Sam Hart, took to his Twitter on Tuesday, and debunked the allegations.
Hart claimed that Ikpeazu received criticisms for protecting Northerners in the state, during their clashes with IPOB members last week.
He wrote:
“Had Gov Okezie Ikpeazu not taken steps to douse the tension & protect Northerners, Nigeria would have still been a burning cauldron. “Mighty kudos too to Northern Governors who rose to the occasion and ensured that there were no consequential uprisings in their states. “The Northern Community told the Govs yesterday that fellow traders in Aba hid them in their houses until they could get to safe locations. “These fellow traders were Igbo. Aba people who did not subscribe to the activities of IPOB. They hid Hausas in their houses for protection. “There are lessons in all of this. Lessons in leadership. Lessons in unity. Lessons in not tarring all with the brush of one.Lessons in peace “May God continue to keep us safe. A National Crisis was averted last week. God bless all who played one part or another.”
